undertaking to wrest from Germany the
provinces Of Alsace and Lorraine. If the
impatence Of the French people can be re-
strained until they are thoroughly prepared
Germany knows perfectly well that the con
test when it comes will be doubtful one at
best. She therefore views with deep con-
Germ the rising strength of the French army,
and is evidently casting about for some
means to check it. IL France could be pro-
voked by taunts and threats into attacking
her prematurely that would answer Gema-
ny's purpose. Germany hesitates to demand
that France shall stop her military prepare
lions, because that would be an interference
with another nations affairs not easy to JUS
tify. But it is gradually becoming clear that
as a last resort she will take that step. Then
unless France tamely submits, which is un-
likely, it would seem that Germany must en-
force her demand with her army That
would precipitate a war which before it was
ended might involve the whole OF Europe.

Drifting Toward War.

The panicky feeling in Europe is well IL
Illustrated by the swiftness with which ru-
mors of war and peace succeed one another,
and the trivial causes that suffice to change
an apparent sense of security into the gray
est apprehension. A few days ago the re-.
ports that came across the water were all
peaceful. The Emperor William was OPP
posed to war, Prince Bismarck was striving
with all his might to keep the peace, and the
French people and their rulers, whatever
might be their secret longings, had no inten-
tion of attempting to realize them by an ap-
peal to the SWORD.
But on Tuesday, the cable informs us,
there was panic in Paris, caused by an edi-
torial in Berlin paper, alleged to be the
semi-oificial organ Of Bismarck, in which it
was pretty plainly intimated that Boulanger
was leading the French people on to war,
and that be had already gone so far that it
was impossible for him to retrace his steps.
This was sufficient TO send stocks down with
rush and excite the gravest apprehensions.
Undoubtedly the French interpreted it. and
correctly, as hint that France must stop
her military preparations, or Germany might
compel her to do so by force. This view of
the meaning of the Berlin papers utterances
gets strong confirmation from an article
which appeared simultaneously in the Co
logne Gazette, which declares that France
is preparing to form, in the shortest time
possible. in the event of a war in the spring,
the strategcal line which she delayed
forming in 1870" and warns Germany that
she must either take needful counter meas
ures or summon France to reduce her from
tier expenses.
To the intelligent observer it is becoming
more evident daily that if the French con-
tinue their present military preparations war
will surely be the result. Germany knows
the temper of the French people and is well
aware that since they began to recover from
the disaster Of 1870 the desire to ayenge their
defeats at Sedan and Metz has constantly
been growing stronger, and that nothing but
distrust of their military strength has led

Mr.. Manley's letter published elsewhere
very clearly states his position in regard to
the Boston & Maine bill. which he intro
duced simply by request. He is opposed to
any legislation that may tend to take the
management and control of the Maine Cen
trail from the people of this State and place it
in the hands OF foreign corporation. That
no doubt is the feeling of the great majority,
and very likely Of every member. of the Leg
isature. Such being the case, before that
bill is passed clause should be inserted ex-
cepting the Maine Central railroad and every
other railroad which the Legislature Foes
not intend shall be included.

Reagan is undoubtedly the ADLER of the two

before the House and which bore his name.

Since the riddle proposed by the Sphinx
there has been apparently no such success in
the riddle line as the Interstate commerce
bill recently passed by the Senate and House
of Representatives in response to the sup
posed demand of the country for some legis-
lation in regard to railroads. Two Senators
on the floor Of the Senate interpreted one Of
the most important sections of the bill almost
Numerically opposite from one another, and
nobody to this day, lawyer, legislator or
railroad manager, processes to understand
it, MIR. Chauncy Depew has submitted
the bill to six eminent lawyers and no two of
them agreed as to the meaning Of some of its
most important sections. The knights of
Labor do not know apparently whether it win
operate to foster monopoly or to kill it, and
while some Of them are appealing to the
President to veto it others are asking him to
sign it. Attorney General Garland is per-
picked by the question Of its constitutional
ty. All things considered ii lie President
should veto it and send it back to the House
and Senate to straighten out he would do the
wisest thing possible under the circum-

1t was made pretty clear at the hearing at
Augusta, Tuesday, that only part of the
disastrous competition that the Maine car
riage manufacturers have had to meet has
come from the State prison, and that appar-
entity but a small part. Manufacturers out
of the State appear to have been doing them
more harm than the convict labor of the
prison. Nevertheless the fact remains that
all the labor employed in manufacturing in
the State prison is employed either in har-
ness making or carriage making so that two
trades bear all the competition of the prison.
The question arises then, Are not the car
riage makers and the harness makers paying
more than their just proportion for the sup
port Of the conyicts, and clearly the answer
must.be that they are. Whether there is
impractical way to remedy this injustice is
another question not so easily answered
The committee which has the matter in
charge should give it their best thought.

The proposition to take away from our
courts all discretion in regard to the punish
ment Of rumsellers ought not to be listened
to an instant In the first place it contains a
reelection ON the character of our judges
entirely unjust and uncalled for. In the
second place cases are constantly occurring
where more can be accomplished for the
welfare of society and the reform OF the
criminal by the suspension of sentence than
by its infiction. 1t is no uncommon thing for
~the courts to suspend sentence in cases Of
burglary and larceny, and give men convicted
Of those crimes chance to lead an honest
life, and nobody has ever found fault with
such course. If our judges can be trusted
to deal with cases Involving those crimes it
is difficult to see why all discretion should be
taken away from them when rumsellng is
involved.

Gen. Dow, of course, wants some radical
changes in the present liquor law, but the
county attorneys seem to think that the
present law is strong enough to suppress the
liquor traffic If it is enforced. A few slight
changes they think might be advisable. but
no radical alteration. The trouble with pill
ing up the penalties is that every time one is
added the difficulty Of securing convictions
is increased. If Gen. Dow was prosecut-
ing officer he would probably recognize this
fact himself, and not be so sanguine that the
effect Of increasing the punishment would
be good. When everything has been done
that is possible under the existing law to
suppress the liquor traffic, it will be time
enough to increase the penalties.

Weather Lunacies.

The country people of Scotland are in the
habit of forming representations concerning
the weather for the coming month from the
appearance of the moon. II she lilies sair on
her back" that is with both extremities
pointing towards the zenith, stormy month
is expected. How much this sign is worth
may he inferred from the fact that in other
parts of Great Britain, and in this country,
the same position of the new moon is just as
confidently held to indicate not foul but fair
weather. Concerning this notion, Southey
wrote, in letter to Kiswick, in 1929 as fol-
lows: Poor Littedale has this day explain.
ed the cause ofour late rains which have pre-
vailed for the last six weeks by theory
which will probably be new to you as it is to
me. l have, observed, he says, that when the
moon is turned upward, we have fne weather
after it, but if it is turned down, then we
have wet season l think that is when it is
turned down it holds no water, like basin,
you know, and then down it all comes
There it will be a long while before the
march of intellect shall produce theory as
original as this, which find upon inquiry,
to be the popular opinion here. George
Eliot has used this bit of weather lore in
describing the burial of poor old Thias Bede
They'll ha' putin Thias Bede i the ground
afore We get to the church yard said old Mar
tin as his son came up. 1t 'ud ha' been
better luck if they ha' buried him i the
forenoon, when the rain was fallin'; there's
no likelihood ofa drop now, an the moon
lies like boat there, dost see? That's q
sure sign O. fair weather, there's as many as
is false, but that's sure" This old weather
saw was doubtless brought to America by
our forefathers, but it also appears here in q
form which would imply local origin. 1t
is told as an Indian saying that If the horn
of the new moon turns up enough to hang
powder horn on it, the ensuing month will
be dry,

Good HumOr and Good Discipline.

Several years ago the convicts In large
penitentiary conspired together and made an
unsuccessful attempt 10 escape. In the strug-
gle the leader of the prisoners and one of the
keepers were killed. The men were secured,
but they remained in a gloomy and vindic-
tive temper for months afterward.
Stricter discipline was enforced, and then,
after some time, kindness was tried to con-
cliate them Their rations improved in
quality and several new privileges were
granted them, but it was all in vain.
ave are sleeping on volcano" the war
den reported "They are in murderous hui
NOR"
He then recommended the appointment of
a certain Dan Pckerell as assistant warden,
the man who held that Office being grim,
sarcastic fellow, especially disliked by the
prisoners. Dan was inexorably firm as an
officer, but lie was fat, jolly embodiment of
good humor. He exacted every jot and tit
tie of service from the convicts; but, that
rendered, he took an interest in them, in their
rheumatism, their toothaches, their children,
their plans for life after discharge.
They were human beings to him, not num-
bered beasts in cages he was not afraid to
joke and laugh with them. In two weeks
time the men were quiet and contented.
Good humor had done its work. The revolt
was over.
"Good humor," says German writer, "is
one of the rank and file of human virtues,
which we are apt to overlook; but 1t wins
more battles in life than do mighty intellect
or lofty Imagination.
